Description
Throughout my tenure in this industry, I have spent my time working in the offices of Art departments, Set Decoration departments, and Construction departments. While working in Construction, I additionally handled all the secretarial needs of the Greens department as well.
Within these offices, I have been the main line of communication for the department heads and crew members. I’ve acted as Secretary, Purchaser, Auditor, and Runner, as necessary. My tasks included answering phones, scheduling pickups, distributing set drawings and other paperwork, making purchases online and in-store, ordering heavy equipment rentals, maintaining dumpster swaps, tracking shipments of purchases items, tracking labor and materials budgets, tracking crew work times, completing and submitting timecards, making copies, running items to sets when needed, completing purchase orders, reconciling credit card purchases on our Cashet site, and communicating with Accounting and other departments within the Production. As a Set Decorator and Set Dresser, I was involved in choosing the objects placed on sets, or actively placing them there. As a Decorator, I also directed the crews to the tasks needing completion by scheduled filming dates.
I have used Excel for many years as my budget program. I am also proficient with Word, mostly using it to create invoices for interdepartmental work, and type our One-liner schedule into post-its (for wall calendar needs). I have also continued to need the skills to create quick graphics in the Adobe Illustrator program, and use Final Draft, the scriptwriting program, to dabble in my own hobby of story creation. I am very organized and thorough in completing paperwork and other tasks.
